Given that it is #ChristmasEve, albeit that the original job listing (q.v.) was posted on December the 12th, I would have thought that they could have come up with a more seasonally apt metaphor for a star that designates a goal. (-:

I suspect that #RaymondChen has not been the only one over the years to observe that if one follows a north star one ends up at the North pole, irrespective of the real goal. #Polaris isn't a goal. It's a latitude measuring device. Billions of navigators from history must be rolling in their graves.

@[email protected] @[email protected] Funny that you should ask. I went to the LinkedIn post, and there's a hyperlink there to the actual job listing on Microsoft's WWW site. It is patently LLM-written. The 'Responsibilities' section shouts that fact the loudest. https://careerhub.microsoft.com/careers/job/1970393556639051 Amusingly, for a job that deals in rewriting things in Rust, actual experience with that language is an optional requirement, whereas >= 6 years experience in Python or JavaScript fulfils the mandatory requirement. Mind you, job listings have been autocompleted using boilerplate, especially by recruitment agencies, for decades. @[email protected] #Microsoft #AI #LLMs #rustlang #BusinessBollocks #LinkedIn
